C.E. v. J.E.

by
During the divorce proceedings of Husband and Wife, the trial judge found that Husband’s alleged abuse of one of the parties’ two minor children had not been proved by a preponderance of the evidence. A judgment of divorce nisi issued, which granted Husband unsupervised parenting time with the children. Wife moved for a stay pending appeal. The probate and family court and a single justice of the Appeals Court denied the motions. Wife subsequently filed this petition pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 211, 3 seeking a stay. A single justice of the Supreme Judicial Court denied the petition without a hearing. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the single justice’s denial of a stay, holding that the single justice did not err or abuse his discretion by denying a stay pending appeal. View "C.E. v.
